The common good is a means to seek the welfare of all people. God calls all people of goodwill to join in his mission to bless the world. In a time of division and instability we are encouraged to build alliances of goodwill, and we hope and pray that this book blesses you as you respond to God's call to work for the common good. This is a booklet for our times.

• Contains six short passages from the Old and New Testaments looking at what the Bible can show us about the common good and prompting reflection, discussion, prayer and action.
• Uses passages from the New Revised Standard Version (NRSV).
